Also beware of your ISP's Acceptable Use Policy.  Some do not allow an
open web server to be used with their accounts, mainly of course those
who only cater for home users as your bandwidth usage will be well above
what they cater for per user.

Some do allow "servers" to be run, but if in doubt ask them specifically
for their definition of a server.  Mileage *will* vary :)

Kind regards,
